And So It Ends

Mitchell, OR

*** Best view at original size ***

Not the end of the gallery, but the view of the filtered Sun right as the Moon ends its journey across the face of the Sun.
The limb of the Moon's silhouette is at the ~7:30 clock position in this image. It was great to have quite a few sunspots to
add some additional interest elements to the scene. These sunspots are running along the equator of the Sun which is
on a diagonal line from the ~1:30 to ~7:30 clock positions for the orientation of this image. The path of the Moon across
the face of the Sun also runs along the equator, which makes perfect sense when you consider the layout of our solar
system and Earth's (and its moon's) orbital plane in relation to the Sun.

Yesterday's image (And So It Begins):

Super shot. Thanks for the moons location, easy to see once you know where to look. V

Great capture of this slice at the end. Neat to have the sunspots at the bottom of the sun. They were not there the previous day, when I was taking my practice shots.
